(Swansea Valley), 

South Wales. 



Dear Mr. Hills : — It was impossihls for me io Jim Hhne for letter 
writing wk'-n I was in America, so I take the first ojyporiuniiy on arriving home 
to assure you how much I admire the benutiful little booklets which you composed 
and had printed as a souvenir of my visit to Atlanta. 

I find the verses perfectly charming, and the pictures exceedingly graceful 
and pretty, and I was immensely touched by such a delicate attention. It was 
e.ccessively kind of you to say you had jtlaced so many co/>ies at my disposal, and 
I only fear that in accepting them I am tresspassing too much upon your kindness. 

All my friends, both in America and England, are delighted with them.. 

It would give me great plea.sure to hear some day the story of the idea which 
prompted you to write so dainty a souvenir, and in the meantime, with many 
thanks, believe me, Very sincerely yours,
